Our Weekend Away

Well this update is long overdue. As stated in my previous post, Charity and I had the opportunity to spend this past weekend away at Harrison Hot Springs. You couldn't have asked for better weather with the avg. daily temperature being around 30-34 degrees celcius! Needless to say we both were able to acheive a bit of a tan. The scenery up there was spectacular. Neither of us had been to Harrison before so we were both thrilled with the view.We stayed at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa. This is the view from our HUGE suite that we were upgraded to. It had a bar, seating area, couch, and a queen sized bed. I apoplogize for not taking any pictures of it since it looked like it was straight out of the 70's. The curtains were greeny-yellow, the bar area had a cheezy glass mirror behind it, and many other 70's-ish characteristics. Nevertheless it was a huge room with an even bigger deck that we spent some time on reading our books.

After our time spent at Harrison we decided to start our trek back home. But before we traveled too far away from Harrison we stopped at a place called TugBoat Junction. It's a mini-golf place with some other fun stuff for little kids. The BEST part of this place was that there was no body else there! We had the entire 18 holes to ourselves! They also had these "misters" that sprayed a mist of water on you as you played! Charity really liked this...and ya can't aruge about getting lightly misted when its 35 degrees in the direct sun! I also got a hole-in-one! Looks like those golf lessons are really paying off!

We also got the chance to head to Minter Gardens before going home. I went here two summers ago for a wedding, but Charity had never been. This place is gorgeous, and the best part (sorry no pictures) was that they had their sprinklers going so Charity and I ran through them a bunch of times! We had a great walk and loved all the beautiful floral arrangements.

All in all this was a fantastic weekend. This was the first time that Charity and I had spent any time away--just the two of us--since our honeymoon. This was a great chance for both of us to unwind, and simply relax. We deffinately want to go back again this summer for a day trip. So that's the update. I hope you enjoyed the re-cap!

Peace:

Ty
